It looks amazing.
Sorry if I missed it, but did you get it on eBay?
Got a link to the seller at all?
Thanks in advance.

Love it!
Big bump. After getting in Endgame Captain America, I finally got a new shield for him. This one has been flaking for quite a few years.
Decided to give him the Endgame shield and I think it looks great with him!
Had this guy for close to ten years now. Outside the shield flaking and the glue drying up on the pouches causing them to flap open (very easy fix), Cap has held up extremely well for me. Still quite happy with him.

It's a great figure. I have the same flaking shield, so I bought the below By Art metal shield on eBay, as the bullet marks really make it look like he's been battling through WWII.

did the same …great shield for this figure
I spray coated my shield as soon as I got the figure (with the occasional re-coat), and it's held up fairly well. However, I gave it to my Stealth Cap figure while this Cap has the BD shield from the first Avengers figure. I'm more than happy with it, but I do like the bullet marks on the third party shield.

My shield is flaked even worse. I need to pick up a new shield for him as well.
Figure wise, it holds up if you have it displayed among other TFA figures. Outside of that, it looks outdated imo. The one that I personally still holds up regardless is the Rescue Version, mainly due to its unique, intricate design. I think the likeness is really good also though and I really dig the WWII look with the bomber jacket and bucket helmet. If I could have only one TFA Cap, I might even venture to say that’s the look I’d prefer.

A stupid question I know but I’m curious what do you spray with?
Yea, when I was comparing TFA to Endgame Cap I could tell a bit. Still like him though. I have TFA Cap displayed with Rescue Version. The rescue is my probably my favorite MCU Cap design in general, just really like the WWII look.
I modded mine with a larger body, and other than still being a bit short, it displays well with newer figures (Winter Soldier, diecast IM). Rescue is a really cool look, and I almost picked it up a few times. I just happen to like the final TFA Cap look more (the functional red chest straps always get me).
Not stupid at all- Tamiya TS-79 semi-gloss. At one point, there was a tutorial video on Youtube on how to spray coat the shield, but I wasn't able to find it the last time I looked (it might possibly be somewhere further back in this thread).

The red straps on TFA suit have always appealed to me also, for the same reason you said with the way the design blends in with the functionality as opposed to simply being design.

can anyone tell me how to remove the belt ?
The front buckle contains two magnets. But they put a small blob of superglue on each part. So. You need to use a scalpel or a sculpting tool or a blade. And wedge it between the buckle parts. When they pop apart you can take the belt apart. At this point the power of the magnets will be weak(14 years after they were new). So once you have them apart you might need to glue them again to get them back on.

i think mine is already glued .
They all were glued on top of having magnets direct from the factory. So, you have to pry the two halves apart (front and back of the buckle) to be able to remove the belt. However, given the age of the figure, you'd probably run the risk of tearing the pleather belt. Are you tryning to do a body swap? If so, it's going to be a PITA to get the suit off and then fit it onto one of the more recent larger bodies.
